Abstract
The aim of this study is to highlight properties of an ankle-brachial index (ABI) using a specially designed numerical simulator of pulse wave. The ABI test is used by many practitioners to detect some vascular diseases. The 19-elements, linerised 1D model was developed in order to simulate blood flow in a part of the vascular tree that includes the main arteries of the lower and upper extremities. The simulations have shown a decrease of the ABI with an increase of femoral artery stenosis. Small sensitivity of the index for the low level of femoral artery stenosis (less than 50%) was observed. Furthermore, a negative correlation between the ABI and the mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the system has been shown.
